Actor Shahid Kapoor, who was lauded for his performance as Maharawal Ratan Singh in the period drama ‘Padmaavat’, has shared that he did not like himself in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.

In a recent interview, when he was asked if given a chance, which character would like to revisit and perform, differently.

He said, ‘I did not like myself. I was so uptight. I think I did not bring out other elements of that personality, I got stuck in a headspace. I am being candid, maybe other people liked me, but I did not.’

The 2018 film ‘Padmaavat’ celebrates a Rajput queen’s willingness to die rather than give herself over to a tyrant who coveted her. The film starred Deepika Padukone in the titular role, while her husband Ranveer Singh played the role of Alauddin Khilji.

In an earlier interview with DNA, Shahid had shared that he felt like an outsider on the sets of ‘Padmaavat’. He told DNA, ‘I’m used to being the favourite of all my filmmakers. This was the first time that I was like an outsider. When you work with a team that has worked together, you are kind of an outsider and it takes time for you to break through that barrier.’

Shahid Kapoor was recently seen in the web series ‘Farzi’ opposite Raashi Khanna and Vijay Sethupathi. He will next be seen in Ali Abbas Zafar’s action-thriller, ‘Bloody Daddy’, which will stream on Jio Cinemas on June 9.
